Poleon, who scored last Saturday as the Fleet went down 4-1 in the north east, struck in the 21st minute after Kidderminster failed to clear their lines, brushing off one challenge then rifling home.
The hosts doubled their advantage after 29 minutes thanks to Poleon, who beat the offside trap to latch on to Nathan Odokonyero’s pass before cutting on to his right foot and finishing past Christian Dibble.
Kidderminster’s day worsened as Alex Penny was given his second booking after bringing down Darren McQueen in the 35th minute, meaning they had to play more than half the match a man down.
Luke O’Neill’s clever back heel on the stroke of half-time put Ebbsfleet three goals to the good and while they were unable to find a way through after the break, they had done enough to secure the points.
Southend, who extended their unbeaten run to 12 matches, led 1-0 at half-time after Harry Cardwell flicked home Oli Coker’s free-kick for his 17th league goal of the season.
Ebbsfleet had won five of their previous six league games and they responded in the second half when substitute Poleon raced on to Greg Cundle’s header and curled a fine finish beyond Southend goalkeeper Andeng Ndi.
James Morton volleyed a golden chance for Southend over the crossbar and in the closing stages Ebbsfleet goalkeeper Mark Cousins saved well to stop the ball rebounding in off his own player.

But Dale were not behind for long as Kairo Mitchell picked out Rodney and the forward slammed home an emphatic finish into the roof of the net.
James McShane gave Dorking a 12th-minute lead, tapping in from a yard after a cross by Seb Bowerman, who was the provider again for the second which was headed home in the 28th minute by a diving Jason Prior.
Josh Taylor made it three nine minutes before the break from Tom Blair’s cross to put the hosts in a completely dominant position.
Wealdstone pulled one back just before the hour mark when a free-kick was not cleared and Sam Bowen hammered home but, though Sean Adarkwa and Nathan Ferguson threatened, there was no way back.
Ottaway met a neat flick from Jason Prior to grab the decisive goal and extend the home side’s poor current run to five games without a win.
Ebbsfleet enjoyed the better of the opening period and both Ousseynou Cisse and Toby Edser went close to putting their side ahead.
They were punished by Ottaway’s effort but briefly thought they had snatched a point late on when Shaq Coulthirst fired home only for his effort to be ruled out for offside.

But Ross Jenkins’ side slipped to a fifth defeat in seven league games to remain three points adrift of 20th-place Woking.

The fourth-placed visitors went into the game hoping to put pressure on the teams above them but had George Wilson sent off late on and had to settle for a point in a 0-0 stalemate.
Dorking were lucky not to concede an early goal when a deflected cross from Regan Linney hit the crossbar but both goalkeepers were forced to make good saves to keep the game goalless.

Rutherford sealed a resounding success in the 66th minute, racing clear from inside his own half following a mistake by Jeff King to slot between the legs of Chesterfield goalkeeper Harry Tyrer.
Both sides created chances, with Wealdstone starting especially well as Ashley Charles’ looping header forced Eastleigh goalkeeper Joe McDonnell into action.
Alex Dyer then thumped over from the edge of the box while at the other end, Jed Ward had to get down low to keep out Lee Hodson’s rasping effort from distance before the interval.
Micah Obiero spurned a glorious chance after shooting straight at McDonnell when given space in the area while the shot-stopper was alert to a ricochet off one of his defenders from a corner.
Chris Maguire struck for the Spitfires but the goal was chalked off for offside while Obiero almost won it at the death for Wealdstone but his strike was tipped away by the excellent McDonnell.

And Dominic Poleon added a decisive second from the penalty spot in the 65th minute after Dominic Samuel was fouled in the box.

Then the away side found themselves a man down, with Ouss Cisse being sent off for an off-ball incident with nearly half-an-hour remaining, but they held on for a point.
Things had started well for the hosts when Charlie Carter put them in front after 23 minutes when he was left with an easy finish when the ball fell to him in the box from a free-kick.
But the lead lasted only six minutes before Rakish Bingham beat Harrison Male with a shot that went in off the post and Luke O’Neill’s free-kick turned the game around, four minutes before half-time.
Dorking’s task got harder when Tony Craig was shown a second yellow card for a high boot just after the hour and soon after, Bingham turned in Ben Chapman’s cross to make sure for the visitors before Dominic Samuel capped it off late on.
